The Royals . The Adults . The Huskers

What a weekend of celebrations!
The fun began Thursday evening with Reagan representing her senior class on the homecoming royalty court. She was super excited to get a free ticket to the dance. I guess it's the small things. 
Friday was Reagan's 18th birthday. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of my girl over the years. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl! You are an adult in some states but not yet in Nebraska! :)




18 YEARS OLD!!
Friday night after realizing her driver's license was expiring we headed to Lincoln for Reagan's Official Visit to the University of Nebraska. Wow! This is really happening!

Team dinner and a night at the Basketball Red-White scrimmage followed by a Rick Ross concert. Who is that you ask? I asked too and when the extremely loud nasty "music" began most of the adults in the building flooded the exits. 
The recruits have known each other for a couple years, playing together twice a year at camps and keeping in contact via social media. But the parents all met this weekend. Chris and I are looking forward to doing soccer life with these people over the next 4-5 years.

Saturday was filled with tours, meetings, uniform sizing, team meals and lots of fun.
Saturday evening's itinerary included an all sport UNL recruit/parent dinner and then the Husker Football game vs Ohio State. Instead of the game Reagan squeezed in homecoming dinner, pictures and the dance back in Omaha.

Colton & Reagan
Colton and Reagan have known each other for years, growing up in our church youth group. Two kids in different high schools playing sports at a very high level keeps them busy. I love the friendship they have and the understanding of commitments to school, sports and friends. They had a funny disagreement about flower color...blue for Creighton Baseball or red for Husker Soccer.

They sure do clean up well!
The Gang
Sunday morning we were up bright and early, back to Lincoln for breakfast with the team, pre-game workout and meeting.

And our final celebration was on Monday night. Family steak dinner at Texas Roadhouse means the birthday girl gets to sit on the horse saddle and yell "Yee Haw"
